Fun fact: Yu Darvish's first donation was to earthquake relief efforts in Iran when he was 10 years old.
Looks like the earthquake that hit Iran in 1997 was the Qayen earthquake:

Elite cyclist seeking UK asylum told he must move to Bibby Stockholm barge
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...ibby-stockholm
A gold medal-winning elite cyclist who is seeking asylum in the UK fears his career will be derailed because he has been told by the Home Office he must move to the Bibby Stockholm barge and cannot take his bike onboard.
Mohammad Ganjkhanlou, 26, an Iranian, has won four gold, two silver and six bronze medals in big competitions and has competed in the world championships.
According to Michael Gray, the road race secretary at Reading cycling club, where Ganjkhanlou is a member, he is the best racer in the history of under-23 cycling in Asia.
Ganjkhanlou said since the Home Office placed him in a hotel in Reading eight months ago he had been given new hope for his career, thanks to the support network that he had built in the area.
After the Guardian contacted the Home Office, officials said while he would not be allowed to take his bike on board or ride it in the port area, Ganjkhanlou would be allowed to store it in a lock-up at the port and ride it elsewhere.
